Varieties of situation semantics

چکیده
1.1 Claims about specific situations (1) Claire has the three of clubs. Barwise & Etchemendy (1987:122), cited by Kratzer (2009): We might imagine, for example, that there are two card games going on, one across town from the other: Max is playing cards with Emily and Sophie, and Claire is playing cards with Dana. Suppose someone watching the former game mistakes Emily for Claire, and claims that Claire has the three of clubs. She would be wrong on the Austinian account, even if Claire had the three of clubs across town.
